Way back when as I was stationed at Myrtle Beach, SC a young lady came into my life that introduced me to his music. VERY underrated performer and musician and every time I hear him I think of her(have the same situation with Journey, a mutual friend and Lowenbrau)
Certainly one of my top 5.............everyone should hear this song, it dos,nt matter if your religeous or not the words are so true.God bless you Dan.
@iadorenewyork1 it was taken down with other video's... I have it downloaded in Real Player, I'm not able to transport since the link has been broken, I still have it... It's really beautiful...
I just became the 20,000th person to watch and listen to this wonderful video. I keep coming back to this beautiful and amazing song. I keep trying to introduce friends to Dan's music who aren't familiar with him. Everyone deserves to share in Dan's thoughts and visions. The truest poet I've ever known....
Happy Birthday Dan... and thank god I had the insight to follow the trail to Dan Fogelberg... 32 years later this song sounds as fresh as it was when released in 79' an old soul he was... I swear he lived another lifetime... so insightful to the pains of life that we all will endure along our road in life... Thank you Dan for your words and those beautiful beautiful melodies....
This song with some 19,000 plus views, proves that there is no correlation whatsoever between quality music and the number of views on Youtube. I can't think of a song that I enjoy listening to over and over than this one. It is far superior to any song I've seen with 100 million views or more.
I won't ever forget this dedication to me, my friend. Thank you again. And I won't ever forget Dan. And I hope this finds you well, Bill. A special Anniversary is coming up as you may well know. A great loss but through your beautiful videos you have kept Dan's memory alive. We all appreciate this so much. Take care. Cj
...just a little t-in-c MrsC; to see whose payin' attention, but this Dansong so often finds me when I'm out & about and living on treasured moments A.T.R.. Love it ...
Beautifully done! Dan would be grateful for this creation! One of my forever favorite musicians... and "Along the Road" is my "Life Song" and his music and therefore he lives on! Thank you!
I bought "Phoenix" shortly after it's release in 1979 and this song just blew me away the first time I heard it. More than thirty years later I still rely on these lyrics and music to calm me down and find peace in troubled times. No one's music and art have ever effected me as much as Dan's. I miss him every day but will cherish his music for as long as I live!
...I wonder, what is that object fading in @ 4:07? An old burned out vacuum tube litering the beach? (object of the boy's devining rod search @ 3:40?) We come alive and aware while drifting in the lofty aaahhhsss of Dan's angelic choir; nearly anything may be found and treasured along the road ...
@HiVybe The bottle in the sand @ 4:07 was trying to deliver "message in the bottle" and was found by the fisherman (ie., the love once was lost, now is found, with light and hope); photo @ 3:40 simply showing autumn color, nothing to do with the rod. Thank you for watching the video in-depth, I did my best trying to capture Dan's mind when he wrote this song, due to the limited information available, some images maybe not portrait very well, we can only ask Dan in the future...
@JMEagle101 this is absolutely amazing, what work you have done to add to the beauty of the music. Thank you, and you need to know you completed this masterpiece beautifully. You are a kindred spirit of Dan, channeling his work.
I came here for the song but really enjoyed the video attached. I really enjoy Youtube for the visual images that can accentuate the music. The potential of the medium is really found here with the combination of a beautiful song combined with beautiful images.
Along the Road I had done up in calligraphy 20 years ago and we hung the words up in our Karate Dojo for all our students to read; the song so describes how one feels in the journey from white belt to black belt... I used to tell my students to remove the word road and replace it with dojo... it is so fitting all the measureless nights training, all the stumbling to get the techniques right, but the humble heart is what gets you the black belt
Well finally after twenty five years I am watching something i seen hundreds of times in my mind who has did such job of This has set me back its the Most beautiful things that has ever been on you tube, I always wanderd why dont Dan Fogelberg do videos , ant the MTv era that made a prostitute out of musicans artist finally Im not only hearing but seeing what Dan Fogelberg really was about a Prophet of Musical arts and storytelling this is amazing a reminder i knew His gift was rare and from God
Aww this is my favorite song by him. My mom is so in love w/ him nd when he died it was so tragic because the morning after he died he got almsot no coverage at all. He was probably the most talented man that ever lived. When i heard him live on a cd recording i couldn't tell the difference between the live and the album version. he was that good. i hope ppl never forget him because he was truly incredible. R.I.P DAN FOGELBERG!!!!!
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I received the CD from my husband at Christmas this past year (CD name Phoenix) and when I heard this song I broke into tears! So true all the words. What a gifted talent he was. He will surely be missed, but his music lives on in my heart forever!
Beautifully presented. My students have been learning the art of music video production. Pictures WITH music tell such a powerful story. You nailed it.
@sandinyourshoes Dan’s lyrics and melodies have inspired me to come forward to create tribute videos to him after his passing, and I am glad I have done it and accomplished many. May his timeless music and boundless love continue to heal us through the toughest times, bring joy and happiness to you and stays in our hearts for ever on... God bless you always!
@JMEagle101, it is a total delight and a gift to know someone with inspiration could put together such a dazzling video set to this deeply-haunting song from the late Dan Fogelberg. I could listen to his music all day long and never get tired of it. I would then just look forward to the next day to hear it all over again.
I also appreciate the 20 thumbs-up signs. Thanks to all who show their support.
A joy to hear this again. Have only got it on vinyl (still!!) but the turntable was consigned to the bin ages ago !! I'd almost forgotten the beauty of Dan's voice - so good to be reminded - thank you JM. Your visuals are always top dollar, as well.
This song struck a powerful chord in my life too. One of Dan's more simple compositions, but with his elegant signature in every aspect. Powerful collage--very nice work. You've captured the essence. Ever on...
Thanks Bill, it's been an honor to be part of our group. We have shared so much between the laughs and sorrows that we have found along the road. Each and everyone of us have our on path in life that we will follow. I am glad that I took the path to Dan Fogelberg... look how much I would had missed !
Exactly!! Our hononary Dan Fan Man ! Yep, you have learned a lot about Dan this past year or two and just think, we still will let you be the captain of the Land Yatcht(former name of Dan's tour bus)
Absolutely beautiful! One of the best interpretations of an incredible song. I grew up in Colorado with Dan's music touching my soul and want to genuinely thank you for this amazing visual journey.
